Symantec Raises Security Concerns

Symantec is worried that the IP protocol Vista uses will open a "Pandora's Box" of security issues and exploitations. For computers not aware of Teredo, Vista's IP tunneling protocol, this means a potential for hackers to attack. Most security systems are not presently protecting against attacks on Teredo because they simply are not aware that it even exists, thereby making such attacks invisible. Firewalls, routers and other security intrusion devices will have to be modified in order to recognize the new IP protocol.
